We are not in disagreement. No matter how isolationist Treebeard has become by the end of the third age, i think it would be very strange if he wouldnt know about Mordor, Gondor, etc., the political "Big Picture" so to speak. I also think its likely that he fought in the War of the last Alliance. If the Ring was presented to him or he came across it, he would probably reject it at first, even if he didnt know about its origin ... but: if the Ring remained in Fangorn, if for example Treebeard agreed to watch over it for a while, or if an Orc from Sarumans Gang captured the Ring from Frodo, escaped to Fangorn and got killed by an Ent, than i think its very likely that the Ring would, eventually, corrupt Treebeard over time and enslave him, it is only a matter of time.
